C, FRIDAY, JUNE 21, 1918 $1.00 PER YEAR ENTERTAINMENTS Food Board Wants Regu- ������0 lations Carried Out Faithfully he or she individually does what- we each know should and must be done to save food and eliminate waste. All persons promoting such functions should before completing thoir plans make Bure of details in the order in council, copies of which can be obtained from the ' secretary of the food conservation committee. A number of-enquiries have been rec-eive*d at ihe office of tbe provincial committee of the Canada food board with regard to the sales of home cooking which many patriotic and church societies make a practice of holding, and also as to the serving of refreshments at entertainments of various kinds In this connection the committee points out that the food board has recently made a number of changes in the regulations governing public eating places. Instead of applying only to places where twenty-four or more meals are served per day, they now cover any or all places where meals are sold. In addition, tbe regulations are now to apply to picnics, parties, bazaars, or any functions or entertainments were food is served, whether given for patriotic or church purposes or otherwise. It is not necessary to take out licenses to hold such entertainments, but it is necessary that on any occasion where food is being sold or served outside the immediate family circle,-it must be only.what is allowed under the public 'eatings-place regulations With regards to the sales of home cooking, it is pointed out by the committee that while, in these cases also, licenses are not required, none of the articles which are forbidden under the private consumptions regulations may be made for such sales. These are candy, French pastry, iced cakes, or biscuits or cakes with sugar icing between the layers or on the exterior. One of the recent orders of the food board ex pressly prohibits the making of any and all of these articles for private consumption, nor may they be sold as home cooking. Further thau this, any cakes or ice cream which may be made privately to be served or sold at entertainments of any description, must be made in accordance with the quantities of flour, sugar arid shortening which are specified for use in the manufacture of such articles by regular dealers. The basis for these and indeed all of the food board's orders is the absolute necessity existing today for saving food. We are fast approaching the most acute food crisis in tbe history of the world. The regulations and restrictions referred to are lo enable Canada to do hershare,and more if need be, towards providing the food supplies so urgently required overseas, and it is for us��������� the people of Canada���������to see that they are carried out iaithfully and willingly. Produce Infertile E^^s Thousands of dozens of eggs are wasted each year in this province, partly through'careless and neglect. To remedy this state of affairs, poultry breeders should, remove all male birds from the breeding pens, thus allowing the stock to produce infertile eggs only. Once again it appears necessary to point out that there will be no diminution in the egg supply if the roosters are taken away. In fact, the hens should lay better. Male birds sold now are also likely to fetch more than later on, when old and young stock are being marketed in large quantities. Fertile eggs will germinate in a temperature as low as 70 degrees, and where there happens to be broody hens, these eggs are rendered unfit for eating purposes in a few hours, if sat upon before being collected. . In disposing of roosters at this time, a certain amount of grain feed will have been saved, and in urban areas a better neigborly feeling will exist. Incessant crowing during the early hours does not encourage this. Broody hens should be immediately removed from the nests,placed in cool quarters and fed generously on egg forming foods. This will tend to get them into laying condition.��������� Cbiel Poultry Instructor.

There has been a tendency in the past even aiiioojj farmers to think of dry farming and irrigation as being, iu a sense, rival modes of agriculture. It is of the utmost importance to the development of Western Canada, where both kinds of farming are practiced on the largest scale in America, that their independence should be properly understood. Had Western Canada been first settled by farmers from irrigation countries the history, of agriculture in these provinces would have been very different. As it is, our first settlers, and even most of our settlers to the present day, were from eastern Canada, the eastern States, or those parts of Europe where irrigation is not employed. They came to western Canada with no knowledge of irrigation. They have learned dry farming from the settlers in semi arid regions of the western States, and they are now learning irrigation largely from the same source. The Western Canada Irrigation association recognizes that the relationship between " dry farming and irrigation is a very close one indeed, and for that reason a considerable space ou the pregrain is devoted to dry farming. At the convention which is to be held at Nelson on July '24, 25 and 26 Hon. W. R. Motherwell,' minister of agriculture in Saskatchewan and a dry fanner of many years' experience, is to give an address on "The Principles of Dry Farming." Mr. Motherwell was president of the association a year ago, and was presiding officer at the convention held at Maple Creek, Sask., where his practical experience as a farmer contributed greatly to the interest of the meet ings. The officers of the association are also delighted to have a letter from Dr. Samuel Fortier, chief of the irrigation division of the United States department of agriculture, stating that he will probably be able to attend the convention at Nelson, and that if so he will he very glad to deliver an address. The asjrioultur- isis of western Canada are under considerable debt to officials of the demand for wheat due to conditions arising out of the war may temporarily overshadow the profits of the live sfock business, but every agriculturist knows that in live stock lies the permanent safety of the. whole industry. The extent to which irrigation fosters the live stock industry is not generally undrstood. There is an opinion abroad that irrigation has to do mainly with the raising of fruits and vegetablee. Nothing could be further from the truth. The great irrigated crop is hay,of which alfalfa is chief. Tables showing the irrigated crops raised in the United States reveal the fact that over 61 per cent of the entire irrigated crop area of the United States is devoted to raising hay, and of this area one-half (30.6 per cent) is in alfalfa. The area devoted to fruits of all kinds is only 4.7 per cent of the whole; sugar beets, 2.5 per cent, and potatoes, 2.3 per cent. The overwhelming importance of hay in irrigated countries is evidenced by the foregoing figures. In the irrigated areas of Alberta and Saskatchewan the hay industry has not developed perhaps quite so fast, on account of the large amount of open rauge which has.until recently, been available, but with the settlement which is going on this condition is rapidly passing away. Already the Lethbridge irrigation district is the principal alfalfa producing section of western Canada. In British Columbia considerable areas which were originally intended for fruit production are now growing alfalfa. A Kelowua, for example, a district at one time devoted almost exclusively to fruit and vegetables is now growing so much fodder crops that last year the local creamery produced fifty tons of butter. In order that mixed farming may receive proper attentiou at the irrigation convention, Dr. J. G.

In this city four registration places were opened Tuesday,and they have been busy since that time registering the citizens. The registration booths are located at the city office, at the Granby smelter, at F. R. S. Barlee's office, and at the West Grand Forks post office. The men and women taking the census have volunteered their services. The registration is progressing very favorably, a total of about 800 persons having complied with the law this morning. Today the registrars have been very busy all day, and it is expected that when the booths' close tomorrow night every person in the city over the age of 16 years will have a registration certificate. Why Not Buckwheat? Try a field of buckwheat this year. It is a wheat substitute and will be needed more than ever next winter. Buckwheat will be sure to have a more important place in the human diet. It is useful for feeding purposes, especially for poultry. In addition, buckwheat is a "handy" crop. It can be. grown on a great variety of soils and under many different conditions. If oats, barley or corn fail in some parts of the fields, try buckwhea-. If you have a field that dries up late, try buckwheat. If. you have a sandy corner on the farm, try buckwheat, ifyouhavean acre that has just been cleared, try buckwheat.���������'It is easy to grow, and =vill often give good returns on soil where other crops will scarcely survive. It must also not be forgotten that buckwheat will respond readily to the richer soils and to good cultivation. There are several varieties that are good, among them being Rough or Rye, Silver Hull and Tartarian. Buckwheat will, as a rule, do well if sown any time during June. It is best to have the soil well worked in order to start the crop growing (prickly. Three or four pecks per acre should be sown with the ordinary grain drill, and don'i sow it too deep. About one inch in heavy soil and not more than two inches in light soil is the proper depth. The crop should be harvested when the large proportion of the seed has turned dark.

Altogether it is assured that every phase, not only of irrigation, but of dry farming, stock raising and dairying, will come under discussion.

FRIDAY, JUNE 2L 1918 Tho harvest is fast approaching and every effort must be made to prevent any waste of foodstuffs through lack of help on the farms. 1/irst things must oome first���������food will be a most important factor in winning the war. The campaign for increased product'on which has been carried on so successfully throughout lho Dominion necessitates an increased supply of labor in the harvesting of the crops. Al ready the supply of farm labor is inadequate to meet this increased demand, and farmers everywhere are looking to their fellow Canadians in the towns and cities to supplement the supply. No matter.what happens the crop must be taken care of, and who is to do it? If the able-bodied men in our cities will look seriously at this vital question, many of them Mill gladly respond to the appeal made through ihe registration cards for assistanco in farm work. Every town and city in ���������.British Columbia ci3n spare numbers of men who are now engaged in occupations which are not essential to our national safety and well-being at the present time. These men ..may not be eligible to shoulder a gun at the front, but they can and should help to feed the man ,vbehind the gun. Every employer and employee should read carefully the following: "A day of reckoning is coming; a day when that irresistible force, Public Opinion, will judge a man by his work, and will judge employers by the work they are retaining men to do. Men and wonK-m will look hard at the clerks in stores, ollicey, warehouses and factories. We are down to olementals today, and our people will not tolerate the thought that while so many of our sons are perishing in the bloody struggle in, France, so many, men are doing work that can easily and efficiently be done by women without sacrifice to their womanhood or health." It is perhaps unnecessary here to specify the name of those occupations which could be dispensed with in the face of such a crisis as our country and our nation arQ now facing, but certainly there are many non-essential occupations in war time, and all men and women engaged in them should seriouslv consider abandoning them for the. present in. favor of farm work. Farm experience is not absolutely necessary to make a man of great as sistance at the present time on farms? The color of his blood is of great importance. If it is red enough he will succeed. Mr. Townsman, when you come'to answer the.-question in your registration card, "Are you willing to do farm work?" will you close your eyes for a moment and think of what vou have read and heard, during the past year, of untold suffering and untcllable misery, starvation vnd degradation in Europe, ancl then will yon open them upon the beauties ancl tho blessings which still surround us in our beloved war- free Canada, and will you not help to obliterate the Cornier scene and perpetuate the latter by getting into the ranks of those who arc producing and saving-our food supplies. e z% Half the eye trouble comes from neglect.

It is run jointly by the American national government'and the state government of Uli- hois and aims to serve free every employer who needs help 'and every worker ;who needs a job. The agency, which will be known as the Temple of Labor, purposes to keep in close touch with .-national, and state agencies of a similar kind and to- keep informed of the local, state and national demand for labor. It has taken over the hiring of all railway labor for the United States west of Pittsburg and Buffalo. Private employment vgenci.es often do more harm than good, for they thrive by taxing both employee and employed and by taking advantage of the frequent changes that workers make. The Temple of Labor works with a view to the well-being of the millions of men who will return to civil life when the wai is over. TENDERS FOR COAL, B, C.

Experiments are being conducted by the bee division to discover means by which fireweed may be made a de- pendable'source of honey year after year' A stand of -fireweed is being maintained by occasional burning, but this method, whatever maybe learned from it, can hardly be recommended on account of. the danger of fires spreading The most promising meth od at present seems to be the develop mont of systemsof beekeeping whereby the apiary may be easily transported every few years from a locality that is failing to one that is coming into profit Many of the hest lire weed loca tions are 1 emote from civilization, but as bees can be kept so as to need no attention in winter', this is not a seri ous drawback, but the risk of losing the apriary in a forest fire must be J guarded against. ���������Fireweed as a [uXI'ERIMEXTATj farms notk.] Fireweed, or great willow herb (Epilobium angustifolium), has pro duced large, crops of white honey of excellent quality "in different parts of Cm(idii, especially after bush fires in soil rich in humus or clay. In the n ������rth country this plant secretes more noitar than alsike clover It comes into llower later than clover, after \\\k colonies have had plenty of time build up strong, and the honey How from it lasts for about seven weeks during the best part of the summer. In the Gatineau valley, Quebec, and in the Teiuiskaming and Kenora districts in northern Ontario the honey How from fireweed commences about the middle of July, reaches its height about tho middle of August, and lasts until stopped by frosts at the end of August or beginning of September. On the Pacific coast fireweed is in bloom during June and July. Unfortunately the high yields from fireweed in many places do not last for more than a few years. Other vegetation springing up gradually chokes the fireweed, and the plant does not .get another chance to develop a heavy gruwth and many flowers until another fire occurs. After a bush fire, the surviving root stalks from scattered plants of fireweed creep in all directions, and the followingyear they throw- up tall stems bearing the rose colored Fireweed"i.s particularly plentiful in many places in British Columbia, especially at high altitudes, where it flourishes independent of fires, but the weather conditions are not so favorable for honey production as in parts where the summer is drier, less cloudy, and warmer. For a good pro duction from fireweed,clear, moderately warm days with cool nights appear to give the best results. At present vast quantities of nectar secreted by fireweed in Canada are lost for want of bees to gather it. se (lowers which keep opening, tho that wither being succeeded by a ring of Mowers higher up the stem.

WITH FINGERS! i ....- You simply say to the drug store man, "Give me a quarter of an ounce of freezone." This will cost very little but is sui&cient to remove every hard or soft corn from one's feet. A few drops of this new ether compound applied directly upon a tender, aching corn should relieve the soreness instantly, and soon the entire corn, soot and all, dries up and can be lifted out with the fingers. This new way to rid one's feet of corns -was introduced by a Cincinnati man, who Bays that, while freezone is sticky, it dries in a moment, and simply shrivels up the corn without inflaming or even irritating the surrounding tissue or skin. Don't let father die of Infection or lockjaw from whittling at his corns, but clip this out and make him try it. Wise wives won't waste.
